After crushing – You will produce fruit

Leave a comment

I know this is for someone today: A grain of wheat must be crushed before it is turned into flour.

Once it is crushed it is multiplied and only after that, can it turn into something nourishing for ourselves and others.

However, before it is turned to bread it is mixed with others, it sits and waits for growth. But even after growth it has to be beaten down so it can grow even more.

Before you can eat it, it has to go through the fire.

I bet that little grain of wheat never knew its destiny. It never realized that to become all that it is going to be, life will be difficult and seem to almost be abusive. However, when it is finished, it smells, tastes, and feels beautiful. It is able to give nourishment to those around it and bring life to a weary body.

A life surrendered to God will produce the end result that leads to fruitfulness and blessing to others. Don’t run from pain or discomfort, good will come from it!

You Will Produce Fruit-

The spirit of faith is the Spirit of YES!

Eph 3:20-21

God is already in our dreams, He is in our future. He is us calling us to come to Him

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is being sure we will get what we hope for. It is being sure of what we cannot see.

Joshua 14:6-12. ; 17:14-18

Where does my help come from?

There are times in life when nothing makes sense. Times when you are so desperate the only place to turn is God and His Word.

Then you see the stupidity and depravity of humanity…..Just today I saw a news article where two parents gave their kid dope in its bottle just to watch its reactions. Tragically the baby died. Or when you hear about a child being molested by their own family member. God have mercy on that child and the family that was destroyed because of erroneous actions. Or to the person who is falsely accused for something that never happened and now sits in prison with no hope in sight.

BUT GOD!!! I have to believe that despite all that we don’t understand, God is good. His character never changes. He is a God of Purity, Truth, Justice, Peace and Love. I believe in the infallible God breathed Word of God, the Holy Bible. However, there are so many scriptures when we are walking through a deep valley that are very hard to understand.

God is timeless. He always was and always will be. When we read the Word we have to keep in mind that it was written for us in the perspective of our whole life. When you read through Psalms 121, when you are hurt, you might say “this didn’t work for me”. BUT again, God said His “Word wont return void, it accomplishes what it sets out to do. ”

That is where faith and trust comes in. We need to hold on to the character of God. Hold on to the fact when he said, “He will never leave us or forsake us.” That he will. He can not lie. It is impossible.

If you are walking through a dark valley, know that “He who began a good work in you WILL complete it.” He will give you a “peace that surpasses all your understanding and will guard your heart and mind”. We don’t have to understand why, we just need to know where to get a hug and receive the only hope that will last for eternity.

Weeping may last for a night BUT Joy comes in the morning. Hang on, find people to pray and support you. Nothing compares to finding a solid church family you can trust.

You don’t have to walk through this alone!!
